Starmer came to the region and left exposed seen as a liar,untrustworthy, and the weakest prime minister on the planet. He arrived with one message: "Let’s work with the Islamic regime in Iran." The answer is simple: NO. This is not Britain. Not a Labour cabinet room. Not Pakistan. This is not a place where the Muslim Brotherhood or Islamist jihadist terrorists are welcomed or tolerated. If you want to live with terrorists, take the Islamic regime in Iran as your neighbor swap them with France if you wish.

The War the Arab World Is Watching
The Middle East Has a Different Story and the West Is Not Hearing It
Western observers who followed this war through the lens of Iranian social media accounts have been watching a carefully produced performance. The Arab world has been watching something else entirely, the first serious challenge to an ideology that was never democratically adopted, never welcomed, and imposed through violence and subversion from the moment of its founding.
The United States and Israel, long cast in Arab political culture as the twin engines of regional oppression, are being processed by a significant and growing portion of Arab opinion as something closer to liberators, not in the language of gratitude, which Arab dignity would resist, but in the language of relief.

“It will hurt America’s economy too”
Dear Europe: Most Americans love you.
Most Americans don’t care how you govern yourselves.
Most Americans (especially the center and left) don’t even care that our taxes pay for your security.
I warned a year or two ago that Americans will shrug off insults for years and just roll our eyes…. until we don’t.
That’s how the American psyche works. We don’t care until we do. Then we all get pissed off at once and do something irrational.
I don’t know why. It just is.
The entire left and big portions of the right aren’t pleased that we hit Iran. Many would agree with the points you’re making.
But at the end of the day, we are Americans. We will give you a long leash, but when it runs out, we jerk the chain back hard.
NOBODY wants the Strait of Hormuz to remain shut. Nobody, or at least very few, want Europeans to suffer a massive energy crisis.
But frankly, we are fed up with the rhetoric.
And if you don’t think we’ll cut off our nose to spite our face, you don’t know Americans at all.
You can push and jeer and mock and scorn us for years, even decades. But when Americans snap, it will happen quickly and without warning.
And we are very close to the breaking point.

@johnkonrad I understand your point, but a sustained oil price spike is going to shock the US economy, maybe not as bad as other parts of the word, but it will happen. I am not arguing for ground invasion of Iran, or anything, but just walking away seems dicey,

It's absolutely wild, when you step back and think about it, the Regime Media narrative being propagated regarding the length of the Iran war.
"How long will it take," the talking heads drone on about, ad nauseam.
We are ONE MONTH in to an operation to decimate the world's leading state sponsor of jihad, which has been at war with us for 47 YEARS.
And we're dominating by every conventional measure against the stated objectives of neutralizing their nuclear, missile, and naval capabilities, and laying waste to their defense industrial base (to say nothing of what is becoming of their ailing proxies).
For some there's an understandable hangover from genuine forever wars without tangible or achievable objectives. And there are of course reasonable good faith questions and criticisms one can raise.
But for far too many this is about politics, in a midterm election year, plain and simple.
And it's about hatred of President Trump over everything else -- including the national interest.

Heard on Bloomberg podcast: “Wars spiral out of control even if they are meant to be contained. This is a historical fact.”
WOW.
This is the most dangerous statement I’ve seen from any media. And it’s false.
Do NOT believe the media when they assure you Iran can’t be contained.
Yes, there is always a chance of escalation, but ZERO U.S. Merchant Marine ships have been deployed with the heavy Army equipment required for a long war.
And historical precedent backs this up:
Gulf War was tightly bounded by political objectives. Coalition forces stopped after liberating Kuwait instead of marching to Baghdad, preventing mission creep.
Operation Praying Mantis delivered a decisive blow to Iranian naval forces in a single day and then stopped.
Operation El Dorado Canyon was a calibrated punitive strike with clear signaling. It hit targets, sent a message, and ended without spiraling into sustained conflict.
Operation Urgent Fury was rapid and limited. Objectives were achieved in days and forces withdrew without expanding the fight.
Operation Just Cause removed Noriega quickly and avoided regional spillover, demonstrating a short, decisive regime-change operation that didn’t widen.
Operation Desert Fox was a four-day strike campaign designed to degrade capabilities without triggering a broader war.
Operation Infinite Reach was a discrete retaliatory action. Limited targets, no escalation ladder climbed afterward.
Operation Odyssey Dawn was constrained to air and maritime operations with a quick transition to NATO, avoiding a large U.S. ground war.
Operation Earnest Will protected shipping under fire while carefully managing rules of engagement to prevent a full-scale U.S.-Iran war.
Operation Allied Force achieved political aims through an air campaign while avoiding a ground invasion and limiting spillover beyond the Balkans.
Operation Deliberate Force was a short, focused use of force that pushed parties to negotiations rather than widening the conflict.
And it’s not just American operations.
The Falklands War remained geographically and politically contained, with neither side expanding the war beyond the islands or targeting the homeland directly.
Kargil War stayed limited even between two nuclear powers. Both sides kept operations confined and avoided broader mobilization or escalation.
The Sino-Indian War of 1962 was sharp, decisive, and brief. China declared a ceasefire and withdrew rather than escalating into prolonged regional conflict.
The Six-Day War was intense but tightly bounded in time and scope, ending in under a week without spiraling into superpower confrontation.
AND don’t let the media trap you into the “boots on the ground means long war” fallacy. The USMC is historically an expeditionary raiding force that removes the necessity for long-war Army occupation.
The Battle of Derna was a small, expeditionary strike deep on hostile shores, seizing a port to force leverage in negotiations without expanding into a wider regional war.
The Banana Wars featured repeated, limited amphibious landings and withdrawals designed to stabilize specific crises rather than escalate into interstate conflict.
The United States occupation of Veracruz was a sharp, time-bound seizure of a key port that applied pressure without triggering full-scale war with Mexico.
The Lebanon Crisis of 1958 saw Marines land, stabilize the situation, and withdraw. Clear objectives, no escalation beyond the immediate crisis.
The Mayaguez incident was a rapid punitive rescue mission against Khmer Rouge forces that ended once the objective was achieved.
Operation Eagle Claw was conceived as a limited raid. High-risk but tightly scoped, not a broader invasion.
Operation Eastern Exit involved Marines securing and evacuating personnel quickly, then leaving without expanding the conflict.
Operation United Shield was a controlled, expeditionary extraction under threat, executed without escalation.
